bdemonstrative pronounThe pronoun that (one) is translated by ése and aquél (masc), ésa and aquélla (fem) and eso and aquello (neuter). You can generally use ése etc when pointing to something near the person you are speaking to. Use aquél etc for something which is distant from both of you. Note that the masculine and feminine pronouns carry accents to distinguish them from the masculine and feminine adjectives, though these can be omitted if there is no ambiguity. Neuter pronouns never carry an accent:who's that?¿quién es ése?what is that?¿qué es eso?, ¿eso qué es?that's my French teacher over thereaquél es mi profesor de francésthat's my sister over by the windowaquélla de la ventana es mi hermanathat's Joees Joeis that you, Paul?¿eres tú, Paul?£5? it must have cost more than that¿5 libras? debe haber costado más (que eso)that's trueeso es verdad, es cierto (esp LAm)that's odd!¡qué raro!, ¡qué cosa más rara!1988? that was the year you graduated, wasn't it?¿1988? ése fue el año en que acabaste la carrera, ¿no es así?"will he come?" -- "that he will!"
